In the old days, I think the name Lemon Lily meant what was known back then as Hemerocallis flava (now H. lilioasphodelus). I've been trying to track down this plant recently and so far it seems to have eluded me. The current candidate, whose last flowers of the season will probably open tomorrow, "looks" right, but the scent is not right. In old books the scent of this plant is described as like that of lemon custard. If lemon custard is the stuff which fills a lemon meringue pie, then my current plant is not the right one. -----Original Message----- From: pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:pbs-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of J.E. Shields Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2010 4:05 PM To: Pacific Bulb Society Subject: Re: [pbs] Legacy Bulbs (pic) I agree -- Justin's picture is of Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso'. The single form of this found around abandoned (and not abandoned) homesteads is usually Hemericallis fulva 'Europa'. The flowers are orange with the brown or purplish eye bands. There are also legacy yellow daylilies, but I'm not sure of the species or hybrid name. There may be more than one -- all often referred to simply as "Lemon Lilies."
